Ah well that's not good. This is what happens when politics gets involved with military operations.

Politics has nothing to do with it. The US army needs to get more feet on the ground, which ultimately means forcing the least incapable back to the field. In the end it's stupid politicians who get them there, but the army would work the same in this situation no matter who was in charge.

Not saying I accept what's going on, but that's how it works. The army is a shitty organization with a shitty job it needs to do, and it does it with the least shitty methods available. Sometimes the least shitty is still extremely shitty.


What do you live under a rock. We sent those boys into that country to do a job. Then the media got involved and deemed everything going bad which caused a public uproar. Thus of course politicians had to get involved to lean either way to either make themselves look better or stay with a strong posistion. Thus now we can't send out troops who can stand on their feet, without the public or media stating its a bad thing or we are losing the war. As soon as media got involved, the public got bias reports, which forced the politicians to get involved. Its a mess. Wars just can't be fought by simple military means anymore, cause you have to fight the damn people back at home why your doing it.


 No I think the problem is that you have already sent all the troops that can stand on their feet.

The US has over stretched its military as its extremely difficult to occupy a country that doesn't want to be occupied.
